Cigs prices must have come down a.bunch. a few years ago they were $1800 when I contacted them and $1500 a couple years before that. I ended up getting both mine from phil because he was a few hundred cheaper and also returned calls.
Amazing what a bad economy does. To answer your question. One I had painted and the other a padded vinyl insert. Id probably.just paint it if I ever do another.
